Itinerary:

Come and enjoy another GIF hike at Jones Bridge Park!

The trail rolls along the river for about two miles, then enters the woods, where we will head towards the pond. From there we will walk along the river again. In general, the trails are flat with some relatively easy uphill climbs, nothing with over a 150 foot elevation gain.

To make this a workout, we will go at a moderately brisk pace.

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road.  Restrooms are available here.  


Dogs are welcome, but in accordance with park rules, they must be on a leash.

Please bring water and your $3 for the parking.
